About this file

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) outlines a requirement for a Digital Student Processing Platform for the 81st FSS/FSPP (Student Personnel Center) at Keesler Air Force Base. The platform will digitize and automate the current manual in/out-processing system for approximately 7,000 military students annually, reducing administrative burden and improving efficiency. Key objectives include creating a web application with role-based user profiles, electronic relocation folders, and a centralized communication tool for various base agencies.

The platform must be configured within the Air Force Network's Microsoft Office 365 environment, meet DoD cybersecurity standards, and include features such as deadline tracking, electronic signatures using Common Access Card (CAC) certificates, and scalability for future expansion. The contractor will be responsible for configuring the system, providing on-site training for up to 130 users over 5 days, offering software support with helpdesk assistance, and providing a standard commercial warranty. The system must handle up to 3,000 active students simultaneously and store student information for up to 3 months after their Report No Later Than Date.

Statement of Objectives

Keesler AFB (KAFB)

81 FSS/FSPP (Student Personnel Center)

Digital Student Processing Platform for Student Assignments

CAO 4 June 2025

1. Background: Our organization trains 7k military students annually and manages in/out-processing tasks related to personnel tracking, training certifications, and assignment preparations. The current in/out-processing is a paper-based manual process, leading to delays and administrative burden. An automated, digital solution is required to improve efficiency, accuracy, and security.

2. Objective: The desire is for a turnkey solution that can be rapidly configured. The vendor shall configure a digital platform with profile-based in/out-processing checklists that include relocation requirements while enabling communication/collaboration for process stakeholders and a dashboard allowing transparency for leadership. The platform must exist within the Air Force Network’s (AFNet’s) Microsoft Office 365 site collection and be capable of configuration to user needs or already have DoD Authority To Operate (ATO) inside of the AFNet. The platform must meet DoD cybersecurity standards. Although the platform does not currently require integration with military personnel systems it is desired to allow possible scalability in the future.

3. Scope: The contractor shall configure a fully functional web application in accordance with the requirements outlined in this SOO. The scope includes the configuration, deployment, training, and maintenance of the platform, as well as future scalability to accommodate policy and program changes.

4. Requirements: Create a platform that eliminates paper process for relocation while enabling a single communication tool for all agencies and customers involved. The web application must include the following capabilities:

4.1 Process Automation and Communication:

• Serve as a centralized electronic focal point for tracking in/out-processing activities.

• Streamline document routing and communication between all stakeholders by configuring pre-existing software.

• Replace multiple communication streams (e.g., email, Teams, phone calls) with a single, unified platform to eliminate gaps and single points of failure.

• Enable role-based user profiles with defined access and abilities for the following offices that are all internal to Keesler AFB:

o Student Personnel Center (SPC) Technicians [5 leads/15 technicians] o Military Training Leaders (MTL) [5 leads/50 technicians] o Students [7,000 annually] o Support agencies to include:

• Finance [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Traffic Management Office (TMO) [3 leads/5 technicians]

• Security Office [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Base Operation Medical Cell (BOMC) [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Dental Clinic [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Military and Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Exceptional Family Member Program(EFMP) [2 leads/3 technicians]

• Wing Special Security Office (SSO) [2 leads/3 technicians]

• System is required to store student information up to 3 months following the student's Report No Later Than Date (RNLTD). A deletion process will be required for information that is older than this for students. System shall retain data trends for at least three years.

• System must be capable of handling 3,000 students active at a given time.

4.2 Dashboard and Reporting:

• Provide a built-in dashboard for leadership to track real-time customer status and progression along standardized timelines to allow transparency for leadership and process improvement opportunities.

• Automate trend data reports within the platform for weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual periods to brief leadership on processing rate/success.

4.3 User Profiles

• Enable profile authentication to allow a student to connect with their tasks upon opening the tool [the method of authentication is open but Common Access Card (CAC) certificate (Public Key Infrastructure) or DOD Identitifcation numbers will be possessed by every user].

• All users will require CAC signature abilities.

• System shall handle structured and unstructured data, including scanned documents, while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations (Privacy Act of 1974) and current DoD security standards to include Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

4.4 Student Profile and Electronic Relocation Folder:

Each student requires a profile with their identifiable information [name, rank, email, phone, squadron, Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), Graduation Date] as well as an electronic relocation folder. The electronic relocation folder will be organized by “Tabs” that include all “Documents” required for the student to receive their follow-on assignment. Documents need to be fillable templates (full document listing below) that can be electronically signed using CAC certificates. Every student will require a unique combination of documents as each situation is case by case. Therefore, the student’s profile and relocation folder must allow editing to allow Student Personnel Center (SPC) technicians to add/subtract documents to the student’s folder (full document listing below). If a student’s identifiable information, assignment, or family situation changes the SPC technicians need the ability to add or subtract documents at any time. Each required task/document must include instructions, timelines, and priority status.

• Electronic Relocation folder requirements will include the following “Tabs” and

“Documents” under each tab.

• Column explanations:

o Type:

• “Doc attached” requires the official, properly formatted version of the document. The user should be able to print this document all while retaining the official formatting. These documents are printed as hardcopies to be sent with the member for verification at their gaining base.

• “Verification only” is not formatting dependent, a simple check box is sufficient o Source:

• “Template” requires the official documents to not only be attached with proper formatting, but it needs to be a fillable document, able to be opened, edited, and signed all while retaining the proper formatting.

• “Upload” is for documents that must be completed by outside websites/agencies, therefore they simply upload the finished version.

o Requirement:

• “Mandatory” items are for EVERY SINGLE student

• “Variable” means the item is dependent on the career field, family situation, and location of the next assignment.
